Brophy Leading Candidate For SHL Coaching Honor
THE HOCKEY NEWS EVERY WEEK for the price of a ticket to a SINGLE GAME! Superb Hockey Reading Each Month HOCKEY WORLD & HOCKEY PICTORIAL HAMPTON— The record book shows that in 21 years of professional hockey, all of it in the minor leagues. John Brophy played in 1,208 games. It also reveals that Brophy picked up an all-time hockey record of 3,827 penalty minutes. Next to Brophy, Dave Schultz was a piker. Yet in his relatively short career as a hockey coach, Brophy has maintained his cool. His teams have not been head-hunters although they have not steered away from body contact. Last year, Brophy coached the Long Island Ducks in the North American League. Finishing strong, apparently a Brophy trademark, the Ducks reached the playoff finals before losing to Syracuse. Most of the team, and their…

Ontario Sold in U.S. and Canada LOUISVILLE SLUGGER HOCKEY STICKS Made in Canada by HILLERICH & BRADSBY. LTD Arnold Street. Wallaceburg. Ontario Sold in U.S. and Canada NEW HAVEN— Rick Kessell says he’d rather set up a goal than score one. But he’ll have to admit there’s one goal he’s after-another chance to play with the California Seals of the National Hockey League. Considering the seeming lack of rapport between Kessell and the Seals, that comes as somewhat of a surprise. After spending all of last season with the Seals, he isn’t even with their farm club in Salt Lake City now. He’s on loan to the New Haven Nighthawks of the American Hockey League. And the Nighthawks are thankful he’s here. If…
Meeker, CBC Collaborate On Hockey Training Films
TORONTO— For many years now, hockey coaches and players alike have needed films that demonstrate the fundamentals of hockey. It appears Howie Meeker and the CBC have finally put the package together to meet the pressing demand. Meeker and a group of hockey players between the ages of nine and 13 are featured in a series of films, each 11 minutes long, demonstrating the basics of hockey. They are absolutely the finest series of its kind showing young boys learning all the skating moves as well as control and passing. Many have already seen some of these films on television, but they’re now available at many public lobraries and school boards. The CBC, which has produced these films, has used every film making technique including slow motion and stop action to illustrate balance,…
Scouts’ Owner Thompson Optimistic For Future
KANSAS CITY— Kemper Arena is a cavernous place, with 16,000 constant reminders to the Kansas City Hockey Associates of just how much selling has to be done. Almost two-thirds of the way through the Scouts’ first season, the average attendance had crept tup to 8,120, which though, and for weeknight games even land of milk and honey that Ed Thompson, the club president, dreamed of when he started pursuing an N.H.L. franchise four years ago. The first 8,120 was the easy part, though, and for week night games even that many people can’t be guaranteed. Yet, at least on the surface, this hasn’t brought about any disillusionment to Thompson and the 25 other investors. “Everyone is gung ho,” Thompson said. “When you have that many investors, you know they’re not going to agree on…
